Cambodia Gambling Dens
There is an interesting background to the Cambodia gambling halls that sit just over the dividing line from next door Thailand, where gambling den gaming is not legal. Eight casinos are established in a generally tiny space in the metropolis of Poipet in Cambodia. This conclave of Cambodia casinos is in a perfect spot, a 3 to 4 hour drive from Bangkok and Macao, the two most popular wagering centers in Asia. Cambodia gambling halls do a huge business with Thai laborers and visitors from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, with only very few Westerners. The astonishing capital acquired from the gambling halls ranges from 7.5 million dollars to over 12.5 million dollars, and there are a couple of limitations constraints for gambling hall ownership. Ownership is assumed to be largely Thai; however, financial sources are cryptic. The borders are officially open from 0900 to 5:00 p.m., and though visas are supposedly necessary to pass, there are methods around this, as is true of many border crossings.
The original Cambodia gambling halls opened in Phnom Penh in 1994, but were required to close in the late nineties, leaving just one gambling hall in the capital, the Naga Resort. The Naga, a stationary ship gambling hall, contains 150 slot machine games and 60 tables. The Naga river boat never closes with 42 tables of mini-baccarat banque, four tables of chemin de fer, 10 of roulette, two of Caribbean Stud Poker, and one each of Pai-Gow and Tai-Sai.
The 1st casino in Poipet, the Holiday Palace, opened in the late nineties and the Golden Crown before long followed. There are one hundred and fifty slot machines and five tables at the Golden Crown and 104 slots and 68 gaming tables at the Holiday Palace. The newest Holiday Palace Casino and Resort features three hundred slot machines and 70 gaming tables and the Princess Hotel and Casino, also in Poipet, has one hundred and sixty six slots and 96 gaming tables, including eighty seven baccarat chemin de fer (the most beloved game), Fan Tan, and Pai Gow. In addition, there is the Casino Tropicana, with 135 slots and 66 of the common table games, as well as 1 table of Casino Stud Poker. Another one of the eight gambling dens in Poipet, also a part of a hotel, is the Princess Casino with 166 one armed bandits and ninety seven table games. The Star Vegas Casino is part of an all-inclusive resort and hotel building that features a number of amenities accompanying the gambling hall, which offers 10,000 sq.ft. of one hundred and thirty slot machine games and 88 tables.
